PAGE ONE

        She sits in contemplation of the things that could have been. Staring out over the vast river that separates the land she dwells in, from the other realms that surround this land, she sighs sadly. There are six realms in all, each with its own beauty and customs.
        Her thoughts drift to Darkness Of Shadow. Her beloved sister. Her ghost. Her shadow. Her hate. Her sorrow. A single tear flows from her left eye. Lifting off her face it turns into a dragon fly and drifts away on the cool air currant of the night.
        She smiles sadly, wondering if any will ever know the truth behind her lies. Lord Viper of Orc knows her truth, but he will never speak a word of the events that happened in Lord White Hawk's Tower a few nights ago.
        She had gone to see White Hawk, to thank him for the white rose he left on her pillow while she slept. When she arrived, he was no were to be found. She decided to wait for him, after all it has been a while since they have had any fun together. Glancing around she admires how well he keeps his home. Walking over to the open balcony doors that lead out unto the vast gardens, filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
        Her eyes came to rest on the Tower. To her surprise, there by the entrace she spies Darkness, dragging Lady by her hair, into the darkness of the tower. Moving swiftly with the grace of the panther, she morphs into a big blue black cat. Silently crossing the vast gardens as though she was born to them. She reaches the tower entrance a second before the door closes.
        With her massive paw she holds the door open as she peers into the shadowy darkness of the Tower. The winding steps leading to the top of the Tower, are dimly lit. She has never needed light to see into the darkness, for a creature of the night she truly is. Her lust for blood is as great as her sister's, maybe even greater, for she is older and has drank longer. The scent of blood drives her forward, but she does so carefully, cautious not to arouse her sister's senses.
        Darkness Of Shadow is very entertained with her taunting of Lady Of The Night. But she is a fierce, fearless assassin, who will kill Lady before anyone can reach her. She cannot let that happen. To do so will be like killing the real Morningstar all over again. She watches Lady as she tries to defend herself from the lashes Darkness is raining upon her beautiful body. Darkness is trying to mar her face, but Lady has shielded it with her arms. They are paying the price as blood pours from the wounds, like rivers flowing in the still of night.
        Enraged that she cannot reach Lady's face, Darkness whacks her over the head with the black club she was clinching in her left hand. Her chance has come. She leaps forward into the air, crossing the distance between them in a single leap. Crashing into Darkness chest, just as she brings the club down for a second time.
        "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Darkness screams out in rage as she turns her weapon on the blue black panther. "Stay the fuck out of this Urantia." She yells into the face of the cat, not once fearing the sharp fangs that can rip her to shreads before she can turn into the white wolf.
        Rolling away from the blows, Urantia Of Darkness places herself between Darkness and Lady. She hears the footsteps racing up the stairs and wonders what he is doing here. Her eyes move pass Darkness as she peers over her shoulder. Darkness too is aware of his prescene, she grins as he enters through the only door in the dungon with his weapon drawn ready to battle.
        Her eyes move over Darkness shoulders as she watches him . She should have known he was hunting an assassin, but he is so closed lipped about certain matters, that she never knows when he comes to see her, if he is there for her, or for his hunt. She is not worried about him, Lord Viper of Orc knows how to take care of himself. Like her lover Lord Hinari, Lord Viper is a true Warrior and will die defending those that cannot defend themselves.
        Darkness laughs, a deep ugly chuckle. "Looky, looky who has arrived, now we are one big happy family." She stands her ground, ready to battle as she morphs into a white wolf. She growls mencenly at Urantia, baring her teeth as Urantia growls right back, not giving an inch of her ground to her younger sister.
        Lord Viper's eyes are not on the two shapeshifters fighting. His eyes are on Lady, who lays unconscious close to the edge of the tower balcony that has no gaurdrail to keep her from falling to her death. Edging his way towards Lady, he avoids Darkness and Urantia as they bare their teeth and slash at each other, both drawing blood. He reaches Lady and pulls her into the safety of his arms, sheilding her body with his own, just as Darkness leaps over a fallen Urantia, landing at his feet.
